Chevy Camaro Concept Slated for '06 Detroit Show, '09 Debut
Date Posted 08-04-2005
DETROIT — Chevrolet plans to take the wraps off a concept Camaro at the 2006 Detroit auto show in January.
Also, Inside Line has learned the automaker is evaluating proposals to revive the classic performance-car nameplate in 2009-2010 on a new low-cost rear-wheel-drive platform.
Among the scenarios under discussion inside General Motors is the development of a lower-cost version of the Sigma rear-drive platform that underpins the Cadillac CTS and STS sedans. Another proposal would take the new rear-drive platform that's being developed in Australia for the next-generation Holden Commodore sedan and spin off a low-cost variant for North America.
GM planners are said to have targeted several body styles for the Chevy and Pontiac brands on a new rear-drive platform, including a sport sedan, a sporty coupe and a convertible. The Camaro and GTO badges could be used on those vehicles, according to company sources.
Across town, Chrysler is said to be preparing a concept Dodge Challenger for the '06 Detroit show, to test the market for a proposed two-door performance car it wants to introduce around 2008-2009 as a potential competitor to the Ford Mustang.
What this means to you: Guess it was just a matter of time and environmental awareness — the original definition of muscle cars doesn't fit well with new perceptions of what's best for the world...could there be a "green" muscle car in our future?

My personal thoughts are this:
GM should have NEVER cancelled it.
GM should have it here by 2007 (No freakin excuses).
GM is too F***ing slow in getting it here.
But...
At least it is coming.

Then again... Better late then never
And they have to one up the Mustang & Dodge's future Challenger, otherwise it'll be pointless to have caused this whole hiatus and come out a step behind the competition...

GM management should have white hot branding irons shoved straight up their asses for twinning the GTO and Camaro.
And have their ******* ***** cut off for not bringing back the Firebird.
How in the ******* hell can you take a mid-size muscle car and twin it with a pony car? How the **** can you bring back the boring Camaro and not the better looking (and traditionally, better performing) twin?
******* worthless bastards.
I just Hope GM doesnt let me down on Design

i don't like how it ended:
as far as the firebird, even when they killed the f-body didn't they say that "more than likely" the camaro would come back, but the firebird was done?
not that things can't change.......well, 2009 has the potential to be a fun year...new dodge challenger and camaro...possibly...
